He sent his colleague, an administrator, reams of inappropriate messages using reminder notes from the Surrey office of Capita Health and Wellbeing between March and August 2013.

At the time Bidwell was employed as a case manager, providing occupational health advice to line managers; contacting employees of Capita's clients; making recommendations to enable employees to return to work and providing written reports on employees.

Bidwell used Capita's 'reminder' system, which contains fewer filters for offensive language, to send his colleague a number of explicit messages, reports Get Surrey.

These included an alternative version to the classic song We Will Rock You, which used reams of homophobic, sexist, violent and vulgar lyrics.

Some messages were of a more threatening nature, such as: "Rest in piece or i will chop you in pieces dice you up into little chucks and stick you in a black garbage bag and lock you in the back of my trunk.

"As you can see i dont give a f*** nor do i care i have no feelings well none that i share.

"If you come at i will retaliate stab you in the back you wont see me coming."

The reminders were meant to be used for internal business purposes only and were designed to help the team manage cases.

They were attached to specific patients' cases and could be viewed by other staff members, not just the author of the note.

Bidwell was dismissed for gross misconduct in August 2013.

He then failed to inform his future employers at East Surrey Hospital, Redhill, where he had applied for a position as a nurse, that he was subject to an NMC investigation.

Bidwell ticked the 'no' box when questioned if he was subject to a fitness to practice investigation, and failed to raise the topic during an interview.

He was successful in his application to become a nurse and began his new role on May 12 2014, but subsequently resigned two months later.

Striking Bidwell off, NMC panel chair Monica French said: "The panel found the content and tone of the reminders to be offensive in Mr Bidwell's explicit references to sexual acts and violence.

"Furthermore, the panel considered that the reminders specifically displayed a demeaning attitude towards homosexuals and women.

"As for the reminders Mr Bidwell wrote, the panel noted that these were intended to be private communications between two colleagues.

"However, the panel was aware that there was a potential for those reminders to be disclosed if any patient requested to see their notes under provisions of data protection law.

"Honesty is a fundamental part of a nurse's integrity.

"It is the foundation of the public's trust and confidence in the nursing profession.

"In this instance, Mr Bidwell had dishonestly misrepresented that his fitness to practise had not been called into question and he dishonestly concealed the fact that he had been employed by and dismissed from Capita.

"The panel had no doubt that Mr Bidwell's dishonesty had been an influential factor in him gaining employment at East Surrey Hospital and had been designed for that purpose.

"The panel considered that the apology showed that Mr Bidwell had no real insight into the gravity or offensiveness of the reminders he wrote and the potential for it to reflect poorly on the profession as whole.

"Furthermore, Mr Bidwell has not offered an apology or explanation for his dishonesty.

"The panel could only conclude that there was a risk that he would be dishonest and could send inappropriate messages within the workplace in the future, thereby bringing the nursing profession into disrepute and breaching a fundamental tenet of the profession."
